Want landscape on Kindle Touch browser

jimdays · 12-26-2014, 11:53 PM

I just bought a new Kindle Touch 7th generation. The model number printed on back is WP63GW. I want to be able to change the browser (when surfing the web) to landscape. I can find an option to change to landscape, but this only works with reading ebooks, and reverts back to portrait when starting the browser. Is there a way to make the browser in the landscape mode? There is some info on the web about this, but it doesn't work on this model of Kindle.

You have the KT2 which cannot yet be jailbroken without using a serial port.

@baf's alternative browser should work on the KT2 just fine, the problem is getting it to run since you need to be jailbroken in order to launch KUAL extensions.

Until/unless someone discovers a new closed-kindle jailbreak (or you are comfortable running the scripts over the serial port) there is nothing you can do.

The only workaround I know is to use your computer to send>kindle the article and then put it in landscape mode (see screenshot).
